Gameplay

Squadron events and duel rating of the squadrons (calculated by the ELO system in the squadron battles in the Events mode) - preliminary version for the future Squadron Battles

Separate fire control for different calibres on the planes. From now on a player can adjust separate controls for MGs and cannons with different calibres, as well as for gun pods on German fighters

PvP player rating added (“ladder”) based on Silver Lions earned in battles.

Dynamic campaign available for a squad (temporarily not limited to premium account)

Record tables significantly reworked - the data should be the same as in profile (leader boards will be updated every day)

Many of AI improvements

Bots use FM similar to one of the player - both on undamaged and damaged aircraft

After attacking ground targets bots can switch to players

Bots do not go to the end of the map while chasing one another

Bots use more correct torpedo attacks

Bots evade air collisions more correctly

Modifications’ effect on aircraft performance in Arcade Battles is fixed.

F4F-3 and F4F-4 moved to rank 2

Economics and progression system

Research system and speed to unlock new planes has been changed: to unlock ranks 2, 3, 4 and 5 player has to unlock 6 planes, but RP needed to unlock a new aircraft for ranks 2, 3, 4 and first aircraft of rank 5 is decreased by 25% or more. That means that all planes can be unlocked 25% faster.

Costs for purchasing all aircraft modifications with Golden Eagles reduced by 5-10%

RP conversion costs to research planes and modifications reduced by 12.5%

Rewards for hits and kills reworked (in general they became higher); repair costs (in general) became lower.
